James Brown
James Brown
James Joseph Brown (born May 3, 1933, in Barnwell, South Carolina) is an African American entertainer, having worked as a singer, songwriter, and record producer during his career. Brown, recognized as one of the most influential figures in 20th century music, was a prime influence in the evolution of gospel and rhythm and blues into soul and funk, a genre he is associated with as its primary founder. His quick ascent to iconic status can be attributed to his rejection of traditional music formulas, and becoming a symbol of self-motivation and achievement in the face of racism against African Americans. more...

Something about one of my favorite artists ever
Aretha Franklin
Aretha Franklin (born March 25, 1942) is an iconic American gospel, soul and R&B singer born in Memphis, Tennessee, but raised in Detroit, Michigan. On January 3, 1987 she became the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Many have called her "The Queen Of Soul" and "Lady Soul". She is renowned for her soul and R&B recordings but is also adept at jazz, rock, blues, pop, gospel, and even opera. She is generally regarded as one of the best vocalists ever by such industry publications/media outlets as Rolling Stone and VH1, due to her phenomenal ability to inject whatever she may be singing about with gut wrenching soul (hence the title) and sheer conviction. She has won sixteen competitive Grammys (including an unprecedented twelve for Best female R&B vocal performance) and the state of Michigan has declared her voice to be a natural wonder. more...

Hello and welcome
As you already know I am living in a small country
in central Europe, Belgium.
and marketing, I speak English, German, French and my
mother tongue Dutch (Nederlands/Vlaams/Flemmish).
Dont mind my mistakes !
My biggest hobby has always been music, most of all the
music by black artists from the 60's and 70's.
My favorites are Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and every-
thing in between, if you like that too we could share in-
formation, because there is a lot that I dont know, I am not
perfect in most of my hobbys.
So I also followed some courses for Photoshop and a time
ago I purchased my first slr digital camera.
In another post I will go on introducing myself, because there
is a lot more to tell.
Have a nice day !
Soulman
